Written Answers
Airports: Taiwan
Asked by: Navendu Mishra (Labour - Stockport)
Wednesday 20th March 2024

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has had discussions with his counterpart in Taiwan on the use of e-gates for Taiwanese nationals at UK airports.

Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)

Whilst we regularly review eGate eligibility for different passport holders, we operate the UK border, including eGate eligibility, solely in the UK interest, recognising the need to balance both passenger flow and border security.

The Government has set out an ambitious vision to create an effective and secure border system. As part of this vision, we intend to investigate options to increase the use of automation and eGates by those passport holders currently ineligible to use them.
